Great...look who is talking!

yes, there is. since most of us were unable to receive even an elementary education in mexico. most of us learn on our own without the formal education of accents or tildes. America holds one of the highest ratings in iliteracy, how dare you think that everyone knows the rules of spelling and grammer. are you going to tell these people they have to apply all the english rules, or they cannot participate. and since you're interested in visiting these countries, try your neighbor to the south. go into the villages of Mexico and see if my people, read, write and speak within even the basic elementary level as you say they do. school, education is a luxury in many third world countries. How arrogant you people are, to believe that everyone should be like you. It's this kind of thinking that promotes violence.what a sad lot you are, and this will be my last response on this matter, because as you pointed out, this is not a chatting site as some of you have made it, by continuing the attacks. I believe you all need to check your own attitudes and values.don't try to control me. you have the option to not reply to any my translations or to ask questions, it's that simple, like a normal, pleasant person would. I think most of you need to learn manners, but I guess that's another site.let's stick to the translations, please.

are you saying that everyone has to have a college degree in Spanish in order to post on this site? that is racist and discriminative. I wish you well in your happy life. no accents or expletives needed here, or you would you like some.
Gee! You mean there is somewhere an entire race of people who don't have college degrees'And, since this was in reference to your statement that your omitting of accent marks was intentional, do you also mean that there is a race of people who write Spanish without using any accents? All of the countries that I know of that are Spanish-speaking are also accent-writing but I can't help thinking that it might be interesting to visit the country/countries to which you refer.
Hi Meliposa,
Totally understand what you are saying and people from the third countries are probably not very easy to go to school to get education because I am from one of third countries. I saw that people from a lot of cities from my country might not have high level education because of their financial situation so they didn't have chance or enough money to go to school when they were children. However I think that they are still delighted to learn something more when they have chance. Just like we were discussing above, we didn't mean that everybody needs to put accents whatever if they know how or not. We just want people who know how and where to put accents to write words properly in order to make other people understand more easily or clear, but if people don't know how and where to put accents like me, I don't think others will ask these people to do that. That is like people ask one blind person to see what's in front of him or her. That's impossible. However like we mentioned before, this is still a good opportunity for these people who don't know how and where to put accents to learn how because everybody wants to improve themselves whatever educations they got. Do you agree with me?
As lazarus said, using correct spelling and accents are good on learning site. Since you are a translator, we don't think that you don't know how to write Spanish properly. If you didn't, we wouldn't have this discussion. Also you can write it properly, that's good and will help other people who are not very good in Spanish learn more and improve themselves, especially people didn't get chance to go to school before. Right? This is a good chance for you to help these people. Right?
I don't think that you would get mad with other people here because we are all trying to help or learn. There is not attack and promoted violence, definitely no!
Thank you,
Marco

If by manners you mean insulting everyone in the forum, being arrogant, showing off your bad spelling and punctuation in both languages, and don't care whether other people would like to learn correct Spanish or not, I think we'll stick to our bad manners.
We asked you to write properly because we thought you had the proper formation. If you haven't, maybe you should do something else other than translating, since you are not fit to do so; if you have the necessary formation, your lack of respect and carelessness about the language are rather sad... and annoying.
not worth replying. check your spelling.

As Heidita, samdie and lazarus said and I mentioned before, I think that most of the people who are on this site are trying to learn Spanish and this site is for learing, not chatting. We all want to learn correct Spanish, not casual Spanish which you would use in normal chatting or conversation with friends. That's why missing accents, bad spelling or missing spelling are not good to be written or used on this site. Since the meanings are different with or without accents, we do not understand that meanings so won't be able to figure out if there should be accents written on the words.Also I don't think that people who have college degrees are able to write accents. I think that writing accents or using right spelling are not very hard for native Spanish speakers to do. (Not sure if I am correct about this point.) However, in my country and native language, people definitely can write the correct words or sentences, unless they didn't go to school. (Didn't mean college, I meant elementary school.)That's why I am always glad to see that Heidita always posts the rule of posting questions on the site. People will learn more and be able to answer questions more easily.Thanks to eveyone,Marco
Hi meliposa, what did "you are right. native speaker don't" refer to?
Did you mean that native Spanish speakers can not write accents or something else?
I think that it's not very hard for people who are native speakers or know what meanings are to figure out what sentences are talking about without accents. However it's very hard people, like me who don't know much about Spanish and try to learn Spanish. Missing accents or mispelling or bad spelling are serious problems for us to figure out the meaning.
Thank you,
Marco
you're right, native speakers don't.

Not everyone has studied enough to write flawlessly, but those who can, should, and if you are really a professional translator, you should be able to write correctly... in theory. This place is meant to be for people to learn languages, and that also includes correct punctuation.

I omit accent marks purposely, it's understood, if you understand the meaning.it is a phrase (partial) submitted for translation, not a complete sentence, that too is understood. I'm amazed of the consistant changing of the meaning or structure of phrases, or sentences submitted for translation.depending on the context, it could also mean "I hope everything is ok." espero que este todo bien'que este todo bien con su madre.

Este from estar-a state of being.It means"Is everything alright, ok? could be a statement or question, depending on the punctuation. Not mispelled or grammitically incorrect.
It is missing an accent on "e" and it is incorrect the way it is, because it requires a main sentence.
Meliposa, for posts on this site, it is important to include the correct accents and punctuation insofar as such is possible. As one of many language learners on the site, I find it very confusing to distinguish between "este" - this and "esté" - subjunctive of estar without the accent marks. Please refer to the forum rules. Much time would be saved on this forum if everyone posted with good punctuation and the correct use of diacritical marks.

exactly, same meaning- good deciphering that's what translating is about. you do not add or take away from what is written. as a translator you can get in trouble for doing so.

In America, many people I know say "It's all Good"Even though this is out of context, the first thing I thought it meant, was "it's all good, well, or fine" or "this is all fine"I was thinking along the lines of "estoy bien"perhaps I'm mixing up bien and bueno againSara
